CO-OP Member Center Marks First Year as Subsidiary by Adding to Extensive Credit Union Clientele
"Since CO-OP Financial Services acquired CO-OP Member Center in November 2009, we have achieved some important milestones, including reaching the four million mark in total loan applications processed in our history, and the introduction of our Outbound Call Services," said Mark Chatfield, Chief Operating Officer, CO-OP Member Center. "During 2010, we have added new credit union clients in 16 states and the District of Columbia."
Among its clients who have elected to add services, expand existing agreements or newly join the call center in 2010 are:
- Coastal Federal Credit Union, Raleigh, N.C. Coastal FCU ranks 47 among U.S. credit unions by asset size with $2.1 billion in assets, according to Credit Unions Online.com.
- State Employees Credit Union of Maryland, Linthicum, Md. SECU MD ranks 52 with $2.0 billion in assets.
- GTE Federal Credit Union, Tampa, Fla. GTE FCU ranks 74 with $1.7 billion in assets.
- Georgia's Own Credit Union, Atlanta, Ga. Georgia's Own ranks 85 with $1.5 billion in assets.
"CO-OP Member Center provides Coastal FCU with 24/7 Member
Service and Lending call center support," said Valerie Curtis, Vice
President, Member Services, for Coastal FCU. "Two of our primary
strategies are to increase the number of members actively promoting
the credit union as well as deepening member relationships. The
level of convenience and accessibility CO-OP Member
Center provides is incorporated into those strategies. Not only
does a 24/7 call center allow us to help members at their
convenience, we have taken advantage of CO-OP Member Center's
expertise in supporting outbound call campaigns. We recently
benefitted from both parts of that relationship in supporting our
efforts surrounding Reg. E changes."
CO-OP Member Center offers a wide range of call center services exclusively for credit unions, including 24/7 lending, member services and outbound calling support. Located in Fort Worth, CO-OP Member Center is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CO-OP Financial Services. For more details, e-mail sales@co-opfs.org or call 1-800-782-9042, ext. 7140.
